The first trailer for The Beaver<\/a><\/strong> has arrived with a weird voiceover and an unexpected feel-good vibe.<\/p>\n

A dark comedy about the depressed head of a toy company (Mel Gibson<\/a>) who uses a beaver handpuppet to communicate with his wife (Jodie Foster<\/a>) and family, it has an interesting back story.<\/p>\n

Directed by Foster, the script by Kyle Killen<\/a> attracted a lot of buzz by topping the 2008 Blacklist<\/a>, an unofficial industry poll of the best unproduced screenplays.<\/p>\n

However, Gibson’s recent phone-related meltdowns<\/a> posed a dilemma for distributor Summit Entertainment and the release was put on hold whilst they decided to let things cool down.<\/p>\n

The UK release date has already been set for February 11th and a Spring release in the US now looks likely.<\/p>\n

Some things to note about the trailer: if you look carefully you’ll notice Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> (a likely Oscar nominee for Winter’s Bone); Gibson’s beaver voice sounds like Ray Winstone<\/a>; and Foster’s line near the end (“I’ll fight for you…”) feels\u00a0autobiographical given her support for Gibson during his recent woes.<\/p>\n
